Serok’s design

[seroxdesign]



Hi! I am a graphic designer based in Toronto, but I’ve lived and worked in Seoul and Vancouver as well. I am graduating from OCAD University with a Bachelor of Graphic Design and a minor degree in Business and Social Innovation this spring. My ultimate goal is to become a creative director who brings life to various content in different parts of the world. It is such an extraordinary experience to witness how creative works can establish a communication beyond words, ethnicity, or generational gaps.
   
My work focuses on capturing essential emotion or the central message in the content of which I am designing. I believe delivering them with just the right amount of design elements is my job as a designer.

I'm equally comfortable with analog and digital technologies, and use both according to the needs of the project.

When I'm not on Adobe creative suite, I enjoy drawing and painting. I handle acrylics, gauche, watercolour, oil pastel, and pencil crayons, and much more! I’m recently into playing guitar.
